Transcend Announces Latest Server-Grade DDR4 Memory

Transcend has announced the launch of three new DDR4 server-grade memory modules: 8GB and 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and 16GB DDR4 Very Low Profile (VLP) RDIMMs. The new modules are fully compatible with the latest Xeon E5-2600 v3 server processors and are perfect for cloud computing, virtualization and other high-performance computing technologies.

The new server-grade DDR3 RDIMMs and VLP RDIMMs are using the latest in density technology allowing these capacities with high-speed transmission of 2133MHz and up to 17GB/ bandwidth while only consuming 1.2V. That is a 40% reduction over the default modules. The lower power consumption isn’t just great for the electricity bill but also have a higher reliability factor.

The very-low-profile (VLP) modules measure just 18mm in height, perfect for use in high-end space-constrained platforms such as blade servers. Additionally, these modules help lower cooling costs by significantly improving chassis airflow and memory heat dissipation thanks to their reduced vertical footprint.
